'I'd always tried to hide behind this character'

Available for over a year

One of Leicester City FC's most famous fans, Lee Jobber has been telling us how he's turned his life around and lost a huge amount of weight in the process. Lee was known for his size, his Foxes tattoo, and his playing of a drum on matchdays. But Lee was struggling with his mental health, and in 2023 he attempted to take his own life. Now, after having weight loss surgery and reducing from 36 stone to 12 stone, Lee's in a much better place and he's helping other men with their own mental health challenges. Lee spoke about his struggles with BBC Leicester's Ady Dayman. NB: Contains some adult themes.
